I think everyone knows that I love snow. :) It's so wonderful when we can have a White Christmas! There haven't been many years lately that there has been snow on the ground right at Christmas, although last year we had a nice dusting on Christmas Eve. It really made it feel like winter!
Somehow with it stormy and cold outside, it makes the inside bustle of preparations, listening to Christmas music, and baking seem all the more festive. The air is full of cheer! :) Usually, Dad and sometimes Jonathan get to take the surrounding days or the whole week off work and are on vacation.
I always love having the whole family around, warm and cozy...preferrably with the snowflakes falling outside!

Looks like I won't be celebrating a win on the "Holly Jolly Blog Bingo" game, but I can still celebrate the , Jesus, who came to save His people from their sins. But, I certainly won't take a anytime soon. AAAAND, most certainly, there is NO or in my heart or soul, since , which I've never seen in CA where I live, is the ONLY word(s) that I got today. Bah humbug much?!

OK, it's apparent that I don't know how to use the HTML tags. Let's try my less-than-inspired comment again.
Looks like I won't be celebrating a win on the "Holly Jolly Blog Bingo" game, but I can still celebrate the infant, Jesus, who came to save His people from their sins. But, I certainly won't take a skiing vacation anytime soon. AAAAND, most certainly, there is NO joy or cheer in my heart or soul, since "White Christmas," which I've never seen in CA where I live, is the ONLY word(s) that I got today. Bah humbug much?!

I agree, Sarah - snow is such a magical event, changing everything from the atmosphere in our homes to the landscape outside. My sled is ready just in case. ;)
I've got 16 words as of this morning, sneakin' up on 25 very slowly, lol. O.O

Well, I still have 8 words to go. :( Hummm, did Hannah catch the special words in your post? LOL I would LOVE it if we got snowed in on Christmas with all the kids and grand kids here!! We did several years ago and we had an absolute blast and we stayed in our jammies all day.

Oh a white Christmas! I'm certainly hoping for one this year....just a pretty dusting will do. Enough to make it feel like Christmas, but not enough to have to shovel the driveway :))
5 more words to go...

Only 4 more words to go. :) (Mom told me to tell you this.)

Ashleigh's and John's comments are making me nervous.

5 and 4? Oh, no! LOL :D Good luck, you two.
... I still have 7 :(

JOY, JOY, JOY! I have a very exciting announcement to make...
No, NOT THAT! I checked my list again--just to make sure that I'd crossed off all the matching words--because I was feeling the angst of John and Ashleigh being so close to the finish line--and saw that I had another word from today's list that I'd missed earlier.
So, again I write, JOY, JOY, JOY. Hooray for only one more word to get tomorrow for the win...well, actually, it's six more words, but I wanted you to feel your heart drop like mine did this morning.
As always, this announcement of good news was brought to you in the spirit and goodwill of the season. And, in the words of the angels, "Fear not," for most of this comment was written in jest...except that I really DO need six words. :)
Now, off to do the treadmill, for I've stalled long ago. Drat.
